Ford Escape 2012 | Ford Escape SUV 2012 Review

Ford Escape 2012:
The 2012 Ford Escape has a lot of high tech features which makes it to be a smart choice for most of the people. It comes into a compact crossover category. There are SUVs standing in competition which are equipped with better engine types and better functionality.

Ford Escape 2012 Exterior And Interior: The exterior of the 2012 Ford Escape has not been changed much from its earlier version. The exterior of the Escape looks a bit old. The XLS and XLT both have 10 different exterior colors and the Limited has 7 different exterior colors. The Hybrid has 6 different exterior colors whereas the Hybrid Limited has 5 different exterior colors. All the trims are available with 16″ Alloy Wheels. It has fog lamps and automatic headlights. There are black colored power mirrors and door handles. The interior of the 2012 Escape is no doubt stylish and graceful SUV. It has adorable dashboard and comprises of more space than before. The seats are not very comfortable and cushy. The front seats are very tall which can sometimes create uneasiness for the driver. The driver’s seat can be manually adjusted. There are only two sitting rows. There is not a third row which I guess is a negative

point in this SUV. It accommodates only 5 passengers. The cargo space is not much and gives in more space if the 2nd row is folded.
